Victoria Kord is the main antagonist of the 2023 DC Extended Universe superhero film Blue Beetle, which is based on the DC Comics superhero of the same name.
She is the nefarious CEO of Kord Industries and desires the mechanic beetle that adheres itself to Jaime Reyes. Reyes uses the scarab to become the superhero Blue Beetle, but Kord wishes to use it for her own purpose: terrorism. She is also the aunt of Jennifer Kord and the former boss of OMAC and Dr. Sanchez.
She was portrayed by Susan Sarandon, who also played Coco LaBouche in Rugrats in Paris: The Movie, Queen Narissa in Enchanted, and Vera Moray/Granny Rags in Dishonored.
Personality[]
Victoria is a corrupted, power-hungry and greedy official. She intend to use the "Scarab" (aka Khaji-Da) to create weapons of mass destruction. She has no qualms of killing anyone who stands in her way in her desires of terrorism. She also lacked remorse for her actions.
She never cared about her family. She demonstrates this sentiment as she hates her father for passing his company on to her reckless brother instead of her. This made Victoria feel "overlooked" thereby developing a severe Inferiority Complex. Thus, Victoria held a grudge on her brother, Ted, and called him pathetic. She also has no love for her niece, Jenny and warned her to stay out of her way. She also intended to kill Jenny without a qualm or a shed of care/remorse.
Victoria was also very racist, seeing people of ethnic minorities (despite having one for a niece) as nothing but cheap labor and less than her when she calls Jaime "Edge Keys Trash". Her racism was so strong to the point that she doesn't care for their lives such as endangering the Reyes family in her raid for the Scarab or even bother to remember the names of her employees, often calling them with stereotypes like "Sanchez".
She is also a manipulative liar when she killed OMAC's mother in cold blood and took him as her henchman as well as lying to him in order to cover up her crimes towards him. She viewed him as her pawn in her goals. After Ignacio's defeat by Jaime Reyes, Victoria tries to order Ignacio to kill Jaime and Jenny, but he refused as he realized the truth that Victoria killed OMAC's mother by ordering the bomb strike, causing Ignacio to turn against Victoria for lying to him.
In the end, Victoria is nothing more than a despicable coward when she begs OMAC to not kill her when her pawn finally found out the truth of his beloved mother's death as well as how Victoria was using him to do her dirty work by lying to him all these years, but her begging fell on deaf ears as OMAC committed suicide to avenge his mother and gave Victoria a well-deserved death for her lies and deception.

Trivia[]
- Unlike most villains of the DC Extended Universe, Victoria Kord is an original character. However, she made her debut in the Blue Beetle graphic novel Graduation Day, as the older sister of Ted Kord and CEO of Kord Industries, seven months before the film released.
- Susan Sarandon had to speak Spanish in some scenes, leading the filmmakers to provide subtitles for audience members who don't know Spanish.
- Sarandon thinks that Kord represents "imperialism through democracy", adding that she just wants to prove herself as her father gave Kord Industries to her brother despite how much she worked for him, leading her brother to ruin the business and disappear, forcing her to take the reins of Kord Industries to help the company survive.
